Hello to all bidders!

Check this one out! Up for bids I offer a SELDOM SEEN, THIS CLEAN HEAVY SOLID STAINLESS STEEL 1960's Bulova ACCUTRON Mens "ASTRONAUT" wristwatch. This beaut is housed in a CLEAN, Attractive POLISHED case that evidences very little wear and is what I would consider to be overall Excellent condition. The lugs are SHARP, and in GREAT SHAPE. The back is CLEAN, and shows no signs of stupid knife slips, and retains MUCH of its original polished finish!

The Original, Black Finish dial is in Excellent condition with nice, uniform aging. All Hands and Figures are intact and the entire dial is completely untoyed with. It is a REAL, ORIGINAL BEAUTY!

The crystal has just been replaced and is perfect!

The period StainlessSteel bracelet is virtually unused and is a unique link/expansion construction! It will accomodate a 180mm wrist but can be sized smaller.

The 214HN Factory Adjusted TUNING FORK Movement is of Bulova's highest grade for their tuning fork line at the time. It has been serviced and is running properly. The hacking and GMT functions operate properly. Time, Bezel Ring, and Setting all operate properly.

All polished steel work is in Excellent condition and the plates are fantastic for this age of watch.

ALL IN ALL A NICE, ORIGINAL, BEAUTY FOR THE COLLECTION OR WRIST. THESE ARE GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND, PARTICULARLY THE RARER, CONSIDERABLY CLEANER PIECES SUCH AS THIS ONE. BID ACCORDINGLY AND BID EARLY SO AS NOT TO GET SNIPED OUT OF THE GAME!
